Come on Linus, whip up some Linux tunes goodness. :)
It would be nice if Linux would get a release song... Any body wants to do it?
Or maybe take a look at this The Twelve Days of Code-Freeze
Or this:

Isn't this far too geekish for any living creature? When will we see a movie about my microwave oven?
The FTP site isn't responding; could someone post the song to gnutella; thanks
The vocalist outperformed the lyricist on this one by a few orders of magnitude, methinks. The last 'gooooooone' bit was amazing considering that she belted that out without even so much as a chuckle at the lyrics she had to sing.
i'm switching back to windows and forgetting about unix. you guys are way to creepy.
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I thought this was gonna suck, but after downloading it and hearing it, I'm pretty impressed.
How very appropriate to release the lyrics alongside the song.
Sort of like a metaphor for the whole opensource thing.
I guess to much english class makes one read to much into things though.
This song describes OpenBSD as a 'she', i thought all operating systems were a 'he' or a 'it'.
The Vorbis version is compressed with old version.. What is it with people, why can't they get it to their heads to use the 1.0 stable release?!
There may be no Linux song, but there's definitely a Free Software Song, lovingly performed by RMS.

Eventually, I found a good reason why I should switch from Linux to FreeBSD.

I'm impressed too, especially since I really hated the song for 3.1, it had a crappy melody and even crappier lyrics and the crappiest musicians since Gwyneth Paltrow decided to be a lousy singer in addition to being a lousy actress.
Now this one sounds really good, the vocalist is reminiscent of Shirley Bassey. I really wish they had chosen this one as the new Bond theme instead of Madonna, who decided to be a crappy actress in addition to being a crappy singer. Thank you.

Does BSD = People with way too much free time? :)
/. and running mdk cooker, go figure....
I mean, I admire the O/S but the song lol, maybe a lil too much, or maybe I just don't have a good apprecition for this modern genre of "Geek" or maybe it's "Romance" I dunno
I guess I shouldn't be talking about too much free time, here I am posting on
Sigs pose an operational security risk and help the baddies aggregate data. I guess commenting does too, oops.
Which old BSD?
The wicked BSD!
Ding Dong the BSD is deaaaad!
Wake up, sleeping process.
Rub your eyes,
Get out of bed.
Wake up the wicked BSD is deaaaad!
It's gone where the daemons go,

Yo ho,
Let's open up and sing!
And ring the (system) bells out!
Don't take me seriously, I quite like BSD. Remember, "Wicked" can mean two different things :)

I downloaded the song before the "OpenBSD is ready for download" post was on /.
So why is the song, suddenly ready for download?
It's the James Bond'ish, operatic number with the chick with the sexy voice right? Sharp flippers and all that?
War crimes, torture, lies, illegal spying... Would someone give Bush a blowjob, already, so he can be impeached?

Release theme song = good?

"there is no linux-esque fanboy culture"
No, just a BSD-esque FAGboy culture consisted of homos like you
ROTFL! That is so funny! No way is it a troll. Damn, the author even says not to take him seriously! Give the guy some credit for his creativity and learn to take a joke. BSD is such a cool OS, but I really hate those insecure pricks who take offence at everything.
Man, I love The Wizard of Oz. It has a great LSD-feel to it. And it was made thirty years before Yellow Submarine and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds too!
I'm such a nerd.
Yes, she can sing!
She should get hooked up with some people capable of doing Portishead-like background tracks. I would maybe even buy that!
Whoever you are, you can feel good now.
Oh, my Tux, my darling i've hungered for your drivers A long, unix epoch Time goes by At 1000Hz interrupts And time can do so much Are you still POSIX? I need your stable VM I need your kexec God speed your async I/O to me! (to the tune of unchained melody)

There are some great BSD songs here already, like this one. Will somebody with a real sense of humor please mod these great songs back up? There not trolling, there really funny.
Is the song placed under the BSD License?
from slashdot - or perhaps i saw it somewhere else - but being that everyone is asking where the linux song is, i thought you all might find this... funny

I read the lyrics for the song and my reaction was "huh?", perhaps the song makes exclusive reference to OpenBSD so much that you would have to be familiar with it to get it?

How charming. When the many forks of Linux hit in the late 1990's Microsoft was calling it dead, dying, a non-starter.
Now here is a Pro-Linux voice showing what s/he has learned from Microsoft.
How charming.
Does this song add any features to the previous version. I'm considering upgrading...

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
If you find the rest of the song at my fortune site please email the whole thing to me.
You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
Would you rather be with a cool penguin(Tux for Linux), a fat guy in a butterfly suit(Fat Guy Who Thinks He's A Butterfly for Micro$oft)? Obviously the cool penguin.
Would rather be with the Fat Blue People(Blue Man Group for Intel) or Ellen Fiest(Hot Girl for Apple)?
In retrospect, that's why I run Linux on a Mac.

is it just me, or is there a lack of ANY real linux/bsd audio editing software that even compares with the wimpiest windows equivalent? it was one reason i had to reboot. same goes for video editing.
It's a lot better than those crappy songs from the American Idol contestants...
After hearing the song I can only assume Spinal Tap are alive and well.
Love 'em especially the Gold Flipper one.
~BSD Rocks!
If I ever hear the OpenBSD guys say "Linux wackos" again I now finally know what to answer.
A f*cking SONG *BWAAAH*
Can we now say that BSD has gone back to the old days of the IBM company songbooks?
This should be the last nail in BSD's coffin...
Richard Steven Hack - This sig is TOO GODDAMN SHORT TO DO ANYTHING USEFUL WITH! MORONS!
LOL! According to mp3guessenc 2 of these songs are Blade and one of them Lame 3.89beta. They are 128/44 Stereo. They should have been joint stereo using a lame 3.9x or fraunhoffer.
With golden skin and flippers as sharp as a knife
He's the machine designed to dismember your life
And the fish protecting us all from the cat
And the cat infecting the world for a laugh
Cyborg on a mission to do some perfishin
The doctor wants foogoo tonight
You need some machismo to catch the spiky one
He's got guts and gizmos to make the system run
(?) flips here for fun
And without a gun
He'll dice you with his golden fin
She's all over puff cause he's such a sexy catch
Is she spying on him? Or just a seafood match?
Oh double seven, send me to heaven
Cause for mister pun the women are fun
She knows what to do
She'll turn gold to goo
Gold flipper is gone
Gold flipper is gone
The The OpenBSD Development Team!
For a long time I thought the OpenBSD project is about making an operating system... now I know it's just all about making t-shirts, posters and now songs. geez! :)
did anyone else think the song sounded a LOT like bond theme music?

Support the OpenBSD developers by getting a 3.2 CD
3.2 CD $40 or for Europe EUR 45
The new new 3.2 poster is very nice too, get it for
$10 US or EUR 14 in Europe
[Outliers unite! Hi Brecht
Onalea Gilbertson (singer on this track) is a great vocalist. Chances are if you've heard of her before, it'd be from her anime voice acting - Moonbay in Zoids (Chaotic Century), plus various characters in G Gundam.
Finally, OSS is getting songs, too.
Micro$oft has had music for years.
Please correct me if I got my facts wrong.
so how exactly did they make the music? an external instrument midi thing, or some incredible piece of software?
So when's the album come out? Seriously, seems like a decent way to support the project... if only it wasn't so... so... damn cheesy. If they put out quality music without the god-awful lyrics, I'd pay for a CD.

What We Can Learn From BSD
By Chinese Karma Whore, Version 1.0
Everyone knows about BSD's failure and imminent demise. As we pore over the history of BSD, we'll uncover a story of fatal mistakes, poor priorities, and personal rivalry, and we'll learn what mistakes to avoid so as to save Linux from a similarly grisly fate.
Let's not be overly morbid and give BSD credit for its early successes. In the 1970s, Ken Thompson and Bill Joy both made significant contributions to the computing world on the BSD platform. In the 80s, DARPA saw BSD as the premiere open platform, and, after initial successes with the 4.1BSD product, gave the BSD company a 2 year contract.
These early triumphs would soon be forgotten in a series of internal conflicts that would mar BSD's progress. In 1992, AT&T filed suit against Berkeley Software, claiming that proprietary code agreements had been haphazardly violated. In the same year, BSD filed countersuit, reciprocating bad intentions and fueling internal rivalry. While AT&T and Berkeley Software lawyers battled in court, lead developers of various BSD distributions quarreled on Usenet. In 1995, Theo de Raadt, one of the founders of the NetBSD project, formed his own rival distribution, OpenBSD, as the result of a quarrel that he documents on his website. Mr. de Raadt's stubborn arrogance was later seen in his clash with Darren Reed, which resulted in the expulsion of IPF from the OpenBSD distribution.
As personal rivalries took precedence over a quality product, BSD's codebase became worse and worse. As we all know, incompatibilities between each BSD distribution make code sharing an arduous task. Research conducted at MIT found BSD's filesystem implementation to be "very poorly performing." Even BSD's acclaimed TCP/IP stack has lagged behind, according to this study.
Problems with BSD's codebase were compounded by fundamental flaws in the BSD design approach. As argued by Eric Raymond in his watershed essay, The Cathedral and the Bazaar, rapid, decentralized development models are inherently superior to slow, centralized ones in software development. BSD developers never heeded Mr. Raymond's lesson and insisted that centralized models lead to 'cleaner code.' Don't believe their hype - BSD's development model has significantly impaired its progress. Any achievements that BSD managed to make were nullified by the BSD license, which allows corporations and coders alike to reap profits without reciprocating the goodwill of open-source. Fortunately, Linux is not prone to this exploitation, as it is licensed under the GPL.
The failure of BSD culminated in the resignation of Jordan Hubbard and Michael Smith from the FreeBSD core team. They both believed that FreeBSD had long lost its earlier vitality. Like an empire in decline, BSD had become bureacratic and stagnant. As Linux gains market share and as BSD sinks deeper into the mire of decay, their parting addresses will resound as fitting eulogies to BSD's demise.
